title: [A stabilizing plastic repair method for reconstruction in extensive complete defects of the chest wall].
abstract: Experience is recorded with the application of a new operative method for combined plastic-stabilizing reconstruction of the thoracic wall in complete defects larger than 8-10/10 cm (greater than 80 cm2). The method consists of covering in layers the defect with Ampoxen, auto-rib and skin-muscle flap. Nine patients were operated: 2 with recurrent tumors of the mammary gland, 2 with metastatic thoracic wall tumors, 2 with osteoradionecrosis. 2 with osteomyelitis of 3-4 ribs and 1 with wide communicating bronchopleurocutaneous fistulas. The advantages of the method are pointed out: permanent stabilization of the thoracic wall, provision of optimal biological terrain for postoperative radiotherapy, applicability in purulent-necrotic defects. The method is described in detail, as well as the results in the operated patients for a period from 1 to 4 years.
